Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

FactSet Estimates client library for JavaScript

API Version npm Apache-2 license

With global coverage since 1999, the FactSet Estimates API provides you with comprehensive estimates and statistics on a wide variety of financial statement items as well as industry-specific metrics. The universe is comprised of over 19,000 active companies across 90+ countries with the following types of data included:

  • Consensus
  • Detail
  • Ratings
  • Surprise
  • Segments
  • Actuals
  • Guidance
  • New Estimates and Ratings Reports Endpoints

For clients seeking curated and relevant financial data, the FactSet Estimates API now includes Estimates and Ratings Reports endpoints. These powerful endpoints are designed for easy integration and consumption, delivering a wide array of financial metrics, estimates, and critical statistics in a highly accessible format suitable for both mobile and web applications.

Whether you are an analyst, investor, or financial professional, the Estimates and Ratings Reports endpoints offer detailed and actionable financial insights that can support thorough analyses and strategic decision-making processes.

The Estimates and Ratings Reports endpoints are especially valuable for B2B2C applications, empowering financial services firms, investment companies, and corporate finance teams to:

  • Elevate Client Engagement: Enrich user experiences in client-facing applications with comprehensive and up-to-date financial metrics.

  • Build Custom Reporting Tools: Create tailored dashboards and analytics tools that provide deep insights and foster better financial understanding.

By adopting the FactSet Estimates API with its enriched Estimates and Ratings Reports endpoints, businesses can streamline their financial data integration process, improve operational efficiency, and deliver superior financial insights to their clients and end-users. This API is rate-limited to 10 requests per second and 10 concurrent requests per user.

[!IMPORTANT] The parameter variables defined below are just examples and may potentially contain non valid values. Please replace them with valid values.

Example Code

const { ApiClient, ActualsApi } = require('@factset/sdk-factsetestimates');
const { ConfidentialClient } = require('@factset/sdk-utils');

const apiClient = ApiClient.instance;

// Examples for each supported authentication method are below,
// choose one that satisfies your use case.

// (Preferred) OAuth 2.0: FactSetOAuth2
// See https://github.com/FactSet/enterprise-sdk#oauth-20
// for information on how to create the app-config.json file
//
// The confidential client instance should be reused in production environments.
// See https://github.com/FactSet/enterprise-sdk-utils-typescript#authentication
// for more information on using the ConfidentialClient class
apiClient.factsetOauth2Client = new ConfidentialClient('/path/to/app-config.json');

// Basic authentication: FactSetApiKey
// See https://github.com/FactSet/enterprise-sdk#api-key
// for information how to create an API key
// const FactSetApiKey = apiClient.authentications['FactSetApiKey'];
// FactSetApiKey.username = 'USERNAME-SERIAL';
// FactSetApiKey.password = 'API-KEY';

const apiInstance = new ActualsApi();
const ids = ["AAPL-USA"]; // [String] | Security or Entity identifiers. Accepted inputs include FactSet Identifiers, tickers, CUSIP, and SEDOL. <p><b>Performance Note:</b> Requests that increase the number of metrics or request long historical data may trigger the 30-second service timeout threshold. To ensure system stability and performance, please keep requests lightweight.</p> <p>If requesting long historical data, limit the history to <b>10 years per metric per ID</b>.</p> 
const metrics = ["SALES"]; // [String] | Requested metrics. Use the `/metrics` endpoint to return a list of available estimate items. **Top 10** most used metrics are **EPS, SALES, DPS, EBITDA,EBIT, PRICE_TGT, CFPS, BPS, NET_INC, and ASSETS**.  For more details, visit [Online Assistant Page #15034](https://oa.apps.factset.com/pages/15034). 
const opts = {
  'relativeFiscalStart': -2, // Number | Relative fiscal period, expressed as an integer, used to filter results. This is combined with the periodicity parameter to specify a relative estimate period. FactSet Estimates Actuals provides data for past periods. Therefore, the input for `relativeFiscalStart` must be an integer that is zero or less. For example, set to 0 and periodicity to ANN to ask for the current reported year (FY0). 
  'relativeFiscalEnd': 0, // Number | Relative fiscal period, expressed as an integer, used to filter results. This is combined with the periodicity parameter to specify a relative estimate period.Therefore, the input for `relativeFiscalEnd` must be an integer that is zero or less.  For example, set to -2 and periodicity to ANN to ask for two fiscal years before the latest (FY-2).
  'periodicity': "'ANN'", // String | The periodicity for the estimates requested, allowing you to fetch Quarterly, Semi-Annual, Annual, and NTMA/LTMA Estimates.   * **ANN** - Annual   * **QTR** - Quarterly   * **SEMI** - Semi-Annual    * **NTMA** - Next-Twelve-Months - Time-weighted Annual. Estimates use a percentage of annual estimates from two fiscal years to create an estimate based on the 12-month period. Visit [OA 16614](https://my.apps.factset.com/oa/pages/16614) for detail.   * **LTMA** - Last-Twelve-Months - Time-weighted Annual. Estimates use a percentage of annual estimates from two fiscal years to create an estimate based on the 12-month period. Visit [OA 16614](https://my.apps.factset.com/oa/pages/16614) for detail.    
  'currency': USD // String | Currency code for adjusting the data. Use `ESTIMATE` as input value for the values in Estimate Currency. For a list of currency ISO codes, visit [Online Assistant Page #1470](https://oa.apps.factset.com/pages/1470).
};

// Call api endpoint
apiInstance.getActuals(ids, metrics, opts).then(
  data => {

    console.log('API called successfully. Returned data:');
    console.log(data);
  },
  error => {
    console.error(error);
  },
);

Using a Proxy

To add a HTTP proxy for the API client, you can set the proxyUrl for the ApiClient instance:

const { ApiClient } = require('@factset/sdk-factsetestimates');

const apiClient = ApiClient.instance;
apiClient.setProxyUrl('http://username:[email protected]:8080');
